Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the previous act was actually repealed and replaced. During the life of this Assembly, we did have an opportunity to bring that bill before committee and also before this House, where it received unanimous support from all Members in the passage of that bill.
The bill actually brings us in line with the federal Civil Marriages Act. It removed the ability for minors and people younger to get married. With minors, there is the exception where they do get consent from their legal guardians. We did have debate on this bill in the House, and I have reviewed OpenNWT's Hansard earlier today, when the Member brought it up. I did not see any indication that the Member had raised this concern during the debate of that bill. I do recognize that the Member was one of 18 Members who unanimously supported that bill at that time.
